iam having a problem too, i have connected the xbox360 to my xp.

The IP resolves fine, it just always gets stuck on DNS. i tried almost everything but still i can't get pass the DNS.

Another tip
 

I was having some problems too, but found a solution.

In my case, I have a Belkin router, and the router's ip (and the ips of computers connected to it, including the ibook via airport express) is 192.168.2.xxx

When you turn off "configure by ipv4" in the ethernet settings, the ibook gives the ethernet port the address 192.168.2.1 - the conflicts somehow with the normal network. Here's the fix I used.

ibook:
network control panel
Show: Built-In Ethernet
TCP/IP tab:
Configure IPv4: Manually
IP Address: 192.168.3.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.2.1 (note that this is the address of your home router, and the same setting your airport uses)
DNS Servers: copy these from your router/service provider as indicated in the other hints


now on the xbox:
IP Settings: Manual
IP Address: 192.168.3.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.3.1
DNS Settings: Manual
Primary DNS Server: (see your internet service provider. 192.168.3.1 might work)


I'm sure you could substitute the 192.168.3 for any number > 3 in all of the above and be fine, but 3 got me up and running.

Enjoy!

Thank you thank you thank you
 

Thanks for that last post. That just put an end to a lot of misery.

xbox dns plus another stuff
 

ok first of all i can't figure out my dns stuff? will some1 please tell me how to find it. and what is a pppoe for? if i need it where do i find all of my user stuff? and advanced?:eek: :eek: :confused:

same same but different -- pppplease HELP
 

I've been trying for days. My xbox can't seem to get past the IP test. My usual error is "Your gateway did not respond to a network request".

I have a wireless/airport connection with a Linksys WRT54G router to a Powerbook G4 running OSX 10.3.9. My internet runs fine and I have a strong signal.

(let me just mention that when I tried this with a wireless connection through a PC laptop, it worked fine, so I don't think it's my wireless router, it has something to do with my laptop).

I believe my sharing is setup correctly, according to this thread and per Perrin's recommendations. I've also tried with both firewall on and off; Config IPv4 off, as well as manual per TCURTIN's recommendation and typing in IP's ending with 3 and higher.

I have tried connecting my xbox to my laptop with both a regular ethernet cable and a cross over cable (because on network status my built-in eithernet always shows up as red or not plugged in).

on xbox network configs, I never get failed network adapter, only falied IP address and have yet to get further on my mac.

Again, it states "Your gateway did not respond to a network request". Sometimes it will say flat out that it wasn't valid if I'm trying a new IP configuration.

In terminal, I get standard information:

inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
ether 00:11:24:ce:38:60
SERVER: 167.206.3.247#53(167.206.3.247)

If I use Tcurtin's advice, it will also give me an additional inet address with the IP i've manually typed in, such as: 192.168.3.1

When I look at my airport TCP/IP settings I see that it is:

Config IPv4: using DHCP
IP Address: 192.168.1.xxx
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.1.1

What else could I possibly do or be missing? This is driving me insane. What could possibly be preventing me from getting though my gateway?

Someone please please please Help! I can be reached at cheksai@yahoo.com, I'd be so grateful!

hey everyone i got this setup to work with my powerbook

now i only have one problem

my NAT says Moderate on my 360 causing me to lag in some games, and to not connect to some people's hosts on Halo 2. Does anyone know how to switch the NAT settings from moderate to Open?

P.S.
I know it's not the router since I have a wireless adapter that gives an "Open" NAT connection

My Xbox Live Isnt Working :(
 

Hey everyone i wonder if you could help me with this problem

I have got a netgear modem and have got a acer laptop. My laptop is upstairs and my xbox downstairs. I brought my laptop downstairs to connect it on xbox live with my ethernet cable and i typed in my ip address, subnet mask and the gateway manually and it didnt work. It failed on ip address. I then tried perrys way of doing it but i didnt understand the paragraph. I typed in the ip address,subnet mask and the gateway but that still failed on the ip address.


PLEASE HELP ME IM GOING MAD HERE

THANKS

GAZZA :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

hi all.

ive done all the things said here on the thread and im connected BUT. AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. VERY VERY SLOW.

ive connected my internet cable through an ethernet switch, which has 2 rj45 cables, one connected to my mac one to the xbox.

what is the problem here?

thx

Hey perrin, I did everything you said and its still not working for me. I can't get an IP address. Would it be possible for us to talk over aim to try and figure this out? If so plz help me my aim s/n is: zerosangheili and my email is zerosangheili@gmail.com plz help. I would really appreciate it.

Hello guys. I've already red the whole thread but I'm not still able to connect my xbox 360 to internet :(
I would like to share my internet connection with the xbox 360. That's my mac configuration:

http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/2...magine1sv5.png

In the xbox setting I've put:

ip 192.168.2.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

DNS 208.67.220.220
DNS 208.67.222.222

I've checked the right ip and DNS using the terminal. But I still get a DNS trouble. The xbox 360's tool says there is an error in the DNS setting:confused: .
By the way, the mac is connected using an airport express and I'm trying to share internet using the ethernet cable. I've well opened the sharing connection in the system preference:eek:

I'm sorry for my not well English, I hope you have all understood what I wrote.:D

I've passed the first three tests, cables, IP and DNS. But the final stage (Connecting to Xbox Live) won't work. The MTU size is fine too. Any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Cheers guys

ok so i do this and i go to test media and it reads:
Network Adapter-Wired
IP Address-Confirmed
PC Selected-failed...............

Any Ideas ?

Are you connecting you Xbox threw your PC?

For me its easy. I connect my Laptop to my PS3 and then share internet connection from airport to ethernet cable. My PS3 has wireless built in but this makes it faster.

No I am connecting through a MAC Power book G4

here is my configuation........I did everything to the xbox that is explained here on the thread.......any ideas ?

Solved very similar problem
 

my setup is: (Cable Modem -> Apple Express base station -(wireless)-> iMac 10.5.1 -(ethernet cable)->XBOX360)

i followed Perrins tutorial and I couldnt get past the DNS check over and over!

i figured it must be the DNS cuz it got the IP figured out, well heres how it all happened. in Perrins post it seemed ok for my IP address to be different than his, when i used the terminal tool i got a completely different address, well it turns out i had both my Airport and my 'Built-in-Ethernet' in "connected" mode. i made sure i turned off the 'built-in-ethernet' connection and re-started the computer.
After i did this and began once more from the beginning of Perrins post and opened up terminal AGAIN. But this time i got an interesting response, right there was Perrins IP address as listed in his posting, 192.168.2.1. my DNS server # was the same as it was the first time i looked in Terminal but i knew this time things would end differently!

So i went back into my xbox360 and typed in all the info (exactly what Perrin posted) plus my DNS #. Then crossed my fingers and it worked! one other thing i found confusing was in regard to PPPoE Settings and Advanced settings, there was no Automatic or OFF buttons they just needed to have no information listed in them to be considered such. in any case hope this helps anyone with a "different" ISP than Perrins and mine and DNS troubles.

Rock out!

I had the same problem, I finally figured it out.
 

Change the ip address of your router to 192.168.1.1 this makes it alot easier. if it is already then its fine. Assuming you are already using ICS with airport and built in ethernet.

Settings on your Mac:

under built in ethernet:

Manually
Ip address: 192.168.0.1
subnet mask: 255.255.255

under airport

using DHCP.
no other changes, router should automatically put numbers there.

Now to the xbox!

Under network setting go to edit settings

Manually set
ip address: 192.168.0.2
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

under dns setting
primary DNS server: 192.168.1.1
secondary DNS Server: 192.168.1.2

THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF THE IP ADDRESS OF YOUR ROUTER IS SET TO 192.168.1.1. IF NOT DONT BOTHER WITH THIS. if it doesnt work contact x_johnnyy@hotmail.com

DNS is driving me crazy!!
 

My DNS connection is choosing when I can play! Sometimes it works fine and sometimes it just doesn't connect. I've been told by a computer whiz that it's something to do with my firewall but I have set it to allow everything that is coming in so don't know why it does not work. Yesterday I refreshed the DHCP lease and it worked so I thought brilliant that's it but today it won't work. I can't be the only guy out there with this problem. Please somebody help!!!

you're not alone. mine was working fine for aggggges and now the DNS just randomly says failed. recently changed to mac osx leopard but havent any problems till just now.

annoying as hell

Alexxx- I was told by a friend that if you always renew the sharing connection when turning on the mac THEN turning on the xbox it will work. I've been doing it now for a few days and have been getting on everytime, if it doesn't go on right away try putting COD4 on and going through the menu's to get on live through the game. This forces the dns to work, don't know why but at least I can play when I want to. The sharing connection is a glitch, after the mac has been off it resets it to off but will still show the green button saying it's on, it's a pain to always renew but a pain which is saving me £60 or $100. Think it's worth it.
